::. You Should Write For Phrack .::

Back when Phrack started in 1985, information was hard to find and there
was a lot less of it. In 2024, we have the opposite situation. There is a
flood of information, and the problem is finding signal in the noise.
In the mid-80s, nearly all major publications were printed works. Videos
were stored on various physical media. Companies had physical files in
office buildings. The internet was in its infancy, consisting of disparate
and disjointed networks, bulletin boards, and electronic databases. Phrack
was able to spread through the early underground internet, connecting
hackers with each other to spread interesting findings and ideas on this
new playing field.

Nowadays, across the globe, everything happens online. There is endless
content to sift through on an infinite list of topics, steeping like sludge
in an algorithmic sewer. The Internet has become a machine that serves
content for the lowest common denominator, instead of showing you things
that challenge you in a meaningful way. But what if you want to find that
good shit?

For curious folk like us, there are a ton of high quality resources written
by hackers. Many of these appear on company blogs or social media sites,
platforms which are intrinsically linked to the lifespan and whims of the
business entity that maintains them. This means that they can disappear at
any moment.

The lifespan of information overall is much shorter now. Between DRM,
paywalls, and search engine changes removing discoverability, important
information and culture can be lost forever. We need more portable sources
of truth if we want information to survive long-term.

Phrack is a zine. It's older than the World Wide Web, and will likely
outlive it. Since 1985, Phrack has been a premier publication for new and
exciting discoveries in the world of hacking. It's not only a technical
reference, but a cultural one too. Hackers throughout the ages have shared
their thoughts, and inspired new generations of hackers to keep exploring.

So why should you write for Phrack?

- You have a project you've been working on that pushes the limits in some
  way, doing things that haven't been publicly shared before. If you do
  cutting edge security research, you should write for Phrack.
- You are interested in aspects of security and technology that other people
  don't seem to care about or understand. If you feel like you need to shed
  light on a certain topic for all to see, you should write for Phrack.
- You keep seeing the same problems over and over and wish someone would
  just write a straightforward guide for everyone. If you are the person
  who can write that for now and future generations, you should write for
  Phrack.
- You deserve a place to share your finest work without fear. If you don't
  want something you poured your heart and soul into turned into another
  metric for shareholders and potential investors or trapped forever inside
  a corporate VPN, you should write for Phrack.

Worst Case Scenario: You just wrote a cool paper you can share on your own.

Best Case Scenario: Your paper gets published in Phrack. :)
